Overview
My research focuses on waterborne enteric viruses, which cause gastrointestinal illness. I study how these viruses are transported and how long they pose a public health threat, particularly in developing regions. I am also interested in how urbanization and climate change impact the diversity of human and animal viruses in aquatic environments.
Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been working on wastewater-based epidemiology and eNA solutions, utilizing the One Health approach to track and provide early warnings for human and zoonotic diseases. These include SARS-CoV-2, polioviruses, influenza viruses (such as H5N1 bird flu), and antimicrobial-resistant pathogens. For more details, visit our project website: .
